j a y f l e x: tell mom to check the voicemail
NuttBread: she doesnt kno how to check it
j a y f l e x: program the passwod into the phone book
NuttBread: i made it so when you hold "1" itll automatically go to voicemail with password
NuttBread: but then itll be hard to explain how to use that..given that she hangs up by turning off the phone and turning it back on

Technology. It's great.
Words of wisdom. I think I'm going to take them to heart this time. I need a change. Here I go.

Oh the stories I could tell. Why am I staring at a blank screen?

I'm still recovering from the crazy mad RIDICULOUS chills that preceeded my fever Wednesday morning. I was shaking so hard I could barely stand up, and it took me half an hour to even attempt to leave the warmth of my bed. I always seem to get sick after I over-exert myself. Mental note taken. Unfortunately, I'm feeling that pre-chill right now, after and hour and a half of basketball and some lifting. The good news? After losing the IM match 2 games to zip, we won the pickup game we played right afterwards. I'd like to play them again. They weren't the cocky macho shove you if I want to type ballers... except maybe that other guy... good thing he didn't play much. Sucka. Let your game do the talking.

HSO interviews went well today, and I'm almost sad they're halfway done. Apply people! I ended up ditching class and making it to the interviews early (because I thought class was at 6 pm for the brief moments I glanced at my clock... but it was at 7). I can't even say how many times that's happened to me.

Getting home from work, some lady really cut me off bad. I don't even think she realized what the heck she was doing. I was going 50 downhill and she pulls on up the street perpendicular... and slows down... and just rolls through the stop sign, as if the whole world stopped for her. Good thing I was cruising. I woulda T-boned her car like nobody's business. God protect us from these driving zombies. She didn't look the least bit fazed when I pulled up to her...

Work wasn't too bad. I actually kept Scott from going crazy long enough... then he realized he forgot his spelling journal. So I drove him back to school around 5, and he tried to get into the office, but just pulled on the door. He told me to wait in the parking lot. Then he walked towards the office a little, turned around and said, "But you can come if you want to." That's what I love about kids. Poor kid was upset his parents would be upset once they found out. I offered to ask the people in the locked office to get his journal, but he kept stopping me. Once we got back to his house he called his dad, who suggested he try again. Back to the school and he didn't feel like knocking, so I took him back once again. Those were the times... when the most you had to worry about day to day was getting your homework done.

I had a few tense moments trying to fix my schedule and drop 2 classes. I had to petition the bio class because of school policy, and for the Filipino American history class I thought it started at 2:30 (but really it started at 2). I didn't want to interrupt the class and earn the hatred of the professor just to get a drop card signed, so I called Geeps and Machaca hoping I could leave a drop card with them. Then I rushed to my apartment and off to work, relieved that Geeps was able to help me out.

Sinus pressure. Nasal drip. Not the greatest way to start a new day. Especially 2 hours before your alarm goes off. I hope I'm not getting sickly. Doh!

So as I move through the moments, I wonder... why am I so tired? Damn, I'm still sick.

Now that the madness of midterms has subsided, I can finally relax. For tonight. Then it all begins tomorrow. HSO interviews have been tiring, but interesting. I think our facilitators are going to be awesome this year. We're gonna have to just bring it out of them. Finishing my part of the group essay midterm for film studies... 2-3 pages in less than 3 hours... you could say it wasn't fun. Actually, it was painful. I was so hungry the whole time, and my headache hadn't subsisded yet, and I was still a little woozy from the fever I had in the morning. But I got through it. Thank God. I thought I wasn't going to make it. Going to class for 3 hours wasn't looking too great for me, so Geeps, Cristina and I went ot Carl's Jr to grub, bumped into Karen, and talked about embarassing moments sleeping, ghosts, and things back in the day. Then I rode home, and it was ridiculously cold.

And I got to talk to her today... ah yes.

The keys are on the table...

There are certain things that have ingrain themselves into my memory. I can't really describe the feeling. It's a little strange. So even though I'm pissed that I got a freaking ticket for driving not even 10 seconds with my lights off last night (talk about bad timing) and I'm tired and a little stressed about my finances and midterms... I guess you could say there's something in the air. How I love this time of the year.

I found a great midi site... so I have some tight ringtones. I watched the University Hawaii scrape away an amazing win again San Jose State... they won by an inch and a second, literally... wow. I bumped into her (her) at Costco... you really have to wonder about those chance meetings with people. I got back to the ARC again and was in and out in 30 minutes... muscles feel great when you use them. I took off to Target and just strolled down the aisles. I dopped by Shawshank and watched The Life of David Gale with Cristina, Cressa, Michelle, and Marites. Then I got home...

and put my keys on the table. By the 3 other sets of keys on the table.
